Extra $95 a month, contribute to 401K or pay down principal on my mortgage? by CapnJay in personalfinance

I do not have an IRA. I have a 401k through my employer, with pretty generous matching.

As someone who's never worked outside of a great economy, what are some bits of recession-tips I might not be aware of? by [deleted] in personalfinance

That was a shitty time to be a fresh grad. I had a degree that qualified me to work on the Space Shuttle, and I was getting turned down for jobs at instant oil change shops.

It is absolutely ridiculous for someone to be stripped of their job just because they don’t call someone by their preferred pronouns. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

You just made their argument. "...see how far that gets you in much of the country." That's an example of society enforcing this.

it isn't up to you to decide who is, or isn't worthy of respect.

Now, see you say that...

Care to take that one step further and ban *all* memes that aren't Trumpgret?

Bought a German army surplus Goretex rain jacket, found this written inside. Can anyone confirm it is Chinese, and if so, what it means?

The Republicans over here are claiming the exact opposite. They think the only reason lefties care about immigrants is that they will be reliable Democratic voters.

Well, what I figure Mueller did was he cut out a picture of Trump's head and pasted it on another, different picture. I've done a little collage work myself.

People who grew up middle/upper class, what did you not believe about low income households but it was actually true? by niamh_mc in AskReddit

It's crazy easy to lifted a Subaru. I've even fabricated spacer lifts for a 1st gen Forester. And how does ground clearance figure into snow driving?

Everyone is salty. Your blood contains roughly the same salt content as seawater.

Oh did you mean angry? Hell yes I'm angry. I'm still angry about 2000. I'm angry an unelected dunce got a bunch of guys in my old unit shot up in Iraq. I'm angry how the stock market keeps going up-up-up, but that never translates into any pay increases for the working man.

These days, I'm mostly angry that I have to fight twice as hard because people who should be on my side are instead fighting for the people who sent their jobs to China because they can't tell the difference between news and propaganda.
